Overview
The Capital City of Pristina invites architects, landscape architects, and multidisciplinary design teams globally to participate in an International Architecture and Landscape Design Competition for the Capital City Cemetery of Pristina. This initiative aims to gather visionary proposals for a significant public landscape and memorial project in Kosovo. The competition goes beyond traditional cemetery design, focusing on themes of collective memory, human dignity, coexistence, and the creation of meaningful public spaces for future generations. A distinctive aspect of the competition is its inclusive approach. The proposed masterplan must integrate dedicated burial areas for various communities, religions, beliefs, and non-religious citizens within a unified landscape. This integration must respect the identity, traditions, and cultural values of each group, ensuring a harmonious and respectful environment for all. The project scope also encompasses the design of ceremonial and memorial spaces, as well as contemporary cemetery infrastructure. Participants are expected to include plans for the rehabilitation of existing cemetery areas. A specific requirement is the inclusion of a German War Cemetery Area, to be developed in cooperation with Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge e.V. The competition offers a total prize fund of €100,000, attracting broad participation from design professionals worldwide. Proposals are due by October 6, 2026, with registration also closing on the same date. The competition is open to participants internationally and submissions must be in English.
